It was yet another awesome moment in the presence of the Lord as the Good women of Christ Apostolic Church, Oke-Ibukun Asegun,Aba-Odan, Ibadan bursts into the moment of joy as they celebrate God who spared and counted them worthy to witness this year's anniversary .
The programme which commenced on Friday July 29, Saturday July 30 and brought to a conclusion on Sunday July 31, 2022 with lectures from the theme taken from the book of Isaiah Chapter 51:1-2.,"LOOK UNTO SARAH THAT BARES YOU."
In her exhortation, the Good women Coordinator, Mrs. Grace Olagoke while speaking on behalf of the guest speaker who was unavoidably absent ,the wife of the Zonal Superintendent of the church, Evangelist (Mrs.) E. M. Itasanmi admonished the the Good women and the participants to emulate the godly virtues in Sarah .
Some of the virtues seen in Sarah are highlighted thus; she was hospitable (Gen.18:8;Heb.13:2.), she obeyed her husband in a difficult situation (Gen.20:1-18; 1 Pet.3:6;Gen.12:11-17), she was a woman of tent and she was not loose (not a backbiter, backstabber but full of God's wisdom Gen.18:10;Judges.4:18-21).
Mrs. Olagoke further said that Serah was an exemplary mother to her son, Isaac and his wife (Rebecca), no wonder Isaac brought his newly wedded wife Rebecca into his mother's (Sarah's) tent (Gen.24:67).
According to Mrs. Olagoke, Serah was kind and her kind gestures towards the strangers (the angels)earned her Isaac and also changed her name from Sarai to Sarah (Gen.17:15;18:6).
She added that Serah obeyed and respected her husband, was full of faith and laid hold onto God's promise even when she was past age to conceive (Heb.11:11) and she endured the reproach of barreness even from her maid (Gen.11:30;Gen.16:5.)
The Assembly Pastor of Christ Apostolic Church, Oke-Ibukun Asegun Pastor Bukola Olagoke in company of other pastors from other assemblies prayed for the Good women and blessed what they donated to the church.
